Climate Impacts Awards┋Unlocking urgent climate action by making the health effects of climate change visible

The aim of this scheme is to make the impacts of climate change on physical and mental health visible to drive urgent climate policy action at scale. We will fund transdisciplinary teams to deliver short-term, high impact projects that can drive policy impact by combining evidence generation (or synthesis) with influencing and engagement strategies.

Note - This year, we have made changes to the research that will be supported through the scheme. As well as funding projects that fill evidence gaps on climate change-related health outcomes, we will also support research which builds the understanding of the economic implications of these climate change-related health outcomes. Read more about the 2026 scheme.
